CHECKING ACCOUNTS
Welcome to totally free checking! On February 1, 2016, your ILWU-FSC FCU checking account will convert to an ILWU Credit Union Free Checking Account! You will enjoy no monthly fees, no minimum balance requirements, free and unlimited check writing, free online, mobile and telephone banking services, and more! Please review the following information so you are prepared for the upcoming changes to your checking account.
Checks
If you are actively writing checks on your ILWU-FSC FCU account, you will receive a new, free packet of checks because the routing number which allows checks to clear through the correct financial institution will change after ILWU-FSC FCU becomes part of ILWU Credit Union.
- Your new checks should arrive before February 5, 2016.
- You can begin using your new checks immediately upon receipt.
- We will continue to honor and clear any outstanding ILWU-FSC FCU checks that you have written prior to the merger for a short time after February 5, 2016.
- If you do not receive your new checks by February 5, 2016, please contact us immediately at 866-4ILWUCU (866.445.9828).
Visa Debit Card
All active Debit cardholders will receive a new Visa Debit card and instructions which should arrive before February 1, 2016. You can continue to use your current ILWU-FSC FCU Debit Card through February 1, 2016. Click the Debit Card tab above for more details.
Direct Deposit and Automatic Payments
All former ILWU-FSC FCU direct deposits and automatic payments will be directed to your new account at ILWU Credit Union for a short time after February 1, 2016.
To ensure there are no interruptions to any of your ACH or automatic transactions, please update your information with any vendor(s) or company debiting or depositing transaction(s) to or from your ILWU-FSC FCU account. You must inform these vendors of ILWU Credit Union's routing number immediately after the merger on February 1, 2016, to avoid a disruption of service.
